Heartland Region
In all of the regions currently delineated, none currently include the Counties of Highlands, Hardee, or Okeechobee. These three counties, along with Desoto, Hendry, and Glades County (currently all part of Southwest Florida), should be included in a new region, the Heartland Region. This is not an arbitrary decision on my part, as it has currency in both public and private use. A few references:

Florida Trend.com

Enterprise Florida

Heartland Educational Consortium, a quasi-governmental agency

Tampa Tribune article which defines the Heartland region in the fifth paragraph

Florida Department of Transportation .PDF identifying the Heartland Region

I can create the article easily enough, using the other regional entries, but it will require a change to the Southwest Florida article, including a new map, a task for which I am not equipped. Before I start creating new regions, I want to get some from of approval from the WP:Florida project team.
